The Rio Star Team Training 12 gauge is built for the shooter who puts in serious range time without breaking the bank. These shells pack 1 ounce of #9 shot at a moderate 1200 feet per second, making them perfect for trap, skeet, and sporting clay practice. The lighter payload means you can shoot all day without your shoulder complaining, and the modest velocity keeps costs down while still delivering what you need to break targets when you do your part.
Rio developed the Training line as an entry-level option for clay shooters and practice-focused competitors. These shells use softer lead and simpler components than Rio's premium Star Team EVO line, which keeps the price attractive without sacrificing performance. The blue plastic hulls are clean-burning and consistent through the box, with a solid brass base that stands up to repeated firing. If you're running cases through a club shoot or spending a Saturday at the range, this load won't let you down.
The #9 shot size makes this load particularly suited for skeet shooting, where targets come in close and you benefit from the denser pellet pattern. You get around 650 pellets per shell, which creates a thick haze of lead when you connect. For sporting clays and trap work, the modest recoil and light payload mean you can shoot volume without fatigue setting in, letting your fundamentals shine through rather than fighting equipment all day.
Each box contains 25 shells, making it the standard quantity for range trips. Rio maintains consistent performance across their manufacturing process, so you'll get reliable patterns and predictable velocities shot after shot. The shells cycle smoothly in semiauto and pump shotguns alike.
Rio Star Team Training shells use softer lead and cost-focused components, making them the entry-level option for high-volume practice and training. The Star Team EVO line uses harder shot and more premium construction for competition work. Both shoot clean and pattern well, but Training loads cost less and are specifically designed for breaking in and building skills.
No. These shells are loaded with #9 shot, which is too small for hunting birds or game. They're purpose-built for clay target shooting and range training. The fine pellet size is ideal for shattering clay pigeons up close but won't have the energy or penetration needed for hunting applications.
Yes, these shells function reliably in most modern semiauto shotguns. The 1200 fps velocity and 1 oz payload are standard enough to cycle properly in well-maintained guns. That said, always check your shotgun manufacturer's recommendations for minimum velocity and load specifications, as some competition guns have specific requirements.
Number 9 shot gives you the highest pellet count per shell, creating a denser pattern at close range. This makes it excellent for skeet shooting where targets are near. The smaller pellets lose energy faster at distance though, so #7.5 or #8 are better choices for sporting clays or trap where targets are farther away.
